 Great Western Digital December 5, 2008
This product is excellent! It works perfectly and quietly and is better than I imagined!
 worthless December 4, 2008
Drive not functioning after 2 months. Went to their website, followed their recs re trouble-shooting. Worked 1 week, then not functioning again. No replies to my follow-up requests for help. Stay away.
Failed after a year - DO NOT BUY IT. November 28, 2008
This drive failed after one year. I lost a lot of personal and financial data that is not recoverable. br /br /It was not abused. Sat on a desk for the most part. No power outages. It died during a write access for a financial program. br /br /This is the second WD drive I have die on my in a year of use. (I had blamed myself for the first one, but maybe this is the just the way these drives are built.) br /br /Back to paper for the financial reports. They don't need batteries.

These are nice units and easy to use. One day when I turned it on it just disappeared. I tried everything but it was still not seen in My Computer or Explorer. So I formatted it. If you format them to NTFS and assign a drive letter before using it you shouldn't have the problem of it disappearing.
Stay away from it November 27, 2008

My WD drive failed after a couple months...never did any damage to it. One day, it wasn't recognized by my PC and when I powered it down and turned it back on, the clicking noises began.
